GEMINI.md

cov-loupe GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from keithrbennett/cov-loupe. It costs 71 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of cov-loupe CLAUDE.md, MIT.

A high-level pointer for AI coding agents working in the cov-loupe Ruby repository. It directs them to read AGENTS.md for the full guidance on Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and related tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding the correct instructions before using AI coding tools in cov-loupe, and knowing where to add future tool-related guidance.
Why use it?
It keeps the detailed instructions in one canonical file, so guidance does not become duplicated or inconsistent.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cov-loupe GEMINI.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to cov-loupe CLAUDE.md — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Refer to AGENTS.md

For detailed instructions on using Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and related agents in this repo, read @AGENTS.md first.

When you identify the need to add or expand instructions about how to use these tools, make those additions in @AGENTS.md rather than here, and treat this file as a high-level pointer.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
